Connecting Your DVD Player

Unlike any other audiovisual media format, DVD offers a wide array of audio and video output options which allows
playback to be enjoyed in any number of system configurations from a standard TV with stereo audio input to a home
theater system with a TV or monitor and full surround sound capabilities.
Connection Guide
The illustration on this page shows the basic setup using
the audio and video cords included with this player. Use
this illustration as a guide to setting up your home
system.
An explanation of each type of audio and video
connection available can be found on pages 16 to 18. To
determine the best audio and video connection setup for
your system, refer to the manuals supplied with the
components you are making connections to.
In addition to making physical connections to your TV or
monitor, it is also necessary to assign the TV screen
size. You can use the [Setup Navigator] in the Setup
screen General menu to set whether you are using a
wide screen or standard size TV or monitor (page 20).
Additionally, you can use the [TV Screen] setting in the
Setup screen Video menu (page 36).
Make audio connections from one of the AUDIO OUT
jacks on the player to the AUDIO IN jacks on the TV
or monitor using the stereo audio cord included with
the player. Be sure to match the color of the plugs
with the color of the jacks (red and white).
Notes
• When making connections to this unit or when changing connections, check that
the unit is off by pressing POWER and unplug the power cord from the power
outlet.
• The analog video output on this player uses copy protect circuitry to prevent the
video playback on DVDs from being copied. If you connect the player to a TV via
a VCR, or record and play back the contents of a disc with a VCR, the playback
picture may not be normal.
